Table 2.

The association between recurrence pattern and resectability

Recurrence pattern Resection rate (%) P value R0 rate (%) P value
Axial 88.9 (24/27) < 0.001 85.2 (23/27) < 0.001
Anterior 33.3 (7/21) 33.3 (7/21)
Posterior 25 (2/8) 25 (2/8)
Lateral 21.7 (5/23) 4.3 (1/23)

The values shown are the resection rate expressed in %, with the number of patients with successful resection/total number of patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer in parentheses.
